    He may be on the brakes while he is driving or over trail braking. Get into the habit of grabbing the axle in the center, if its to hot to hold or even burns you that is the case. Keep working with the driver to break that habit. Keep grabbing the axle till you can start getting close to the disc without pain.

    Welcome to the beginning of a great Father/son experience. After 10 years of doing what you are beginning I would have to say, love every min it goes by fast. I started Garrett at the same age, growing up at the track has molded my son into a great young man and taught him so many life lessons.

    Advice, keep it fun. If your yelling at your kid, take a break. If your yelling at another Dad, take a breath remember things happen in racing. If your yelling at your wife, take her on vacation she can only go to the track so many weekends a year.

    Don’t keep buying motors thinking your out powered, most likely that kid will be faster then yours in your kart. Buy track time, coaching and tuning help.

    Keep it fun and he will love it forever, if you do it right racing is a great carrot to dangle to make parenting a little easier…

    John,

    GPS is awesome but only if you know how to use the data.

    Use the water temp forsure on you Stockmoto.

    I loved the EGT with a tuneable carb but becareful with the egt in a stockmoto pipe they are prone to crack…

    Table is best with gauge… Or 4×4 under middle of chassis, 2 friends on rear wheels and you jumping on nose check with tape.

    If its not the carb or fuel line it could be the coil wires. Tape the to the coil so cornering loads dont cause a short

    ^ Well said and pretty dang close if you are going to get your kid to move up any motorsports ladder.

    Or you can find a small club and race to have fun for about $100 on an old kart, used tires learning on your own.

    Racing is hard and is as much fun as you make it.

    Enjoy it and have fun

    Cant go wrong there, just dont get discouraged.

    LAKC has big feilds with top drivers.

    So just set goals you cant meet and keep your expectations real.

    Get some support to help you from one of the many teams/shops at first but most of all have fun…

    We race Redline oil in 1 series at 32:1 all the time, you need to focus on your jetting.

    Muratic acid should clean that barrel up nicely…

    Agreed. We run our Stockmoto at 32:1.

    110 is best, no less then 98.

    Practice, practice , practice.

    One other thing, if the front bar is in loosen it.

    Things twist by loosen and then retightening the bar it allows the chassis reset itself, so to speak.
